Now you're getting like my kindergarteners, always sending me 'old' people jokes.


Yesterday I was in the check out line at Target. A man with a young boy jumped in front of me. The teenager in front of him kept looking at me as if waiting for me to do or say something. When the guy paid for his kids candy and a soda, I spoke up. I said, "You know in my younger days I would have gone ballistic had you jumped in front of me." The guy said he thought I was in another line. I replied, "You thought nothing of the sort. The next time you do that remember we do have a concealed gun law here. People have been killed over less." The checker could barely keep from laughing because the man was visibly upset. Old folks can get away with a lot. I would have let the guy get in front of me anyway. He had only 2 items.

I remember chatting with you when I was going through my divorce in late '04, early '05. You are a wonderful lady. *curtsies*

You must have had a different name then. Not that my memory is that good.

My turn to ROFLMAO. I absolutely love it.

You'll appreciate this story. This week I walked to the bank during my lunch hour. On my way past the east end of the front of the building, there was a (I'm assuming) homeless man sitting on one of the steps with a cup. He smiled at me, didn't say a word, I smiled back and said that I didn't have anything on me, but I'd catch him the next time. I rarely give money to panhandlers. But I felt like he didn't ask or anything, just offered me a smile and a good day and that was it.

On my way back to the building, he was still sitting there and I rounded up a dollar in change from my coin purse and when I got up to him, I put it in his cup. He thanked me and that was that. Until......I walked up the stairs and as I began to open the door this guy who had stood at the railing said, "I hope you realize that you just gave that guy money to get drunk on tonight."

He wasn't a young punk (he's probably 37-47) and he wasn't being rude, but I just couldn't let that go by. I snapped inside. I turned on my heel and calmly and politely replied, "I hope you realize that what I do with my money is none of your business."

He looked at me and then said "Yes ma'am."

A minister once said that what they do with the money is on them. We gave from our hearts. I will not go into my purse to give someone, but if I have change in my pocket I will.......especially to those who simply speak.

Why?

Remember I don't have a job, so I'm online off and on all day. Now I really need to leave for a couple of hours; real life is screaming for me. Take care!
